My plan was to loop around Lake Washington, but the weather suggested I do something else. The main idea was roughly finalize the saddle position before having a professional take a look, and I pretty much got that done.
This ride ended up being a short out-and-back to and from Bothell, so there aren't many details to add. I did get a pinch flat, though.

I rode down to the hometown of the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad on Alder Lake, using Link Light Rail to avoid downtown Seattle. In the end, I rode nearly 160 miles, but didn't feel too weak at the end as I got my saddle position dialed in almost perfectly.

After only getting to Everett before turning back due to the conditions I faced that morning, I really was hoping to get a good ride in this time. Thankfully, that's exactly what I did!
